Italeri 6510 - 1/35 M985 HEMTT Gun Truck: Scale Modelling Overview

The M985 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is an iconic eight-wheel drive vehicle noted for dependable off-road performance. Introduced in the mid-1980s, it became central to United States Army logistics. The Italeri 6510 1/35 kit recreates the HEMTT with attention to the truck's lines and operational character.

Service Role and Design Traits

The HEMTT family was developed to move ammunition and heavy equipment across rough ground, offering high mobility and robust hauling capacity. Those operational priorities are reflected in the kit's structural cues and external detailing.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

This Italeri 6510 kit provides finely moulded components that reward careful construction. Expect some delicate parts and precise joins; glue and steady hands will produce the best results. Finished, the M985 HEMTT Gun Truck makes a convincing centrepiece for military dioramas or a display shelf.
